The statutory holiday hours (4 x the weekly working hours) are granted in time off. The remaining holiday hours can, if desired, be granted in money as part of an à la carte employment benefit system. Holiday hours over and above the statutory minimum are paid at 116.33% of the then applicable hourly wage.

If your employer decides to grant the holiday hours over and above the statutory minimum in Article 8.1 fully or partially in money, you have the right each year to purchase at least the additional part of the holiday hours that is paid in money.
